Patent EP-0801984-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MUELLER ROMAN
IPC: B02B3/06
Filed: 1994-08-10
Abstract: The method involves creating a sealed packing of the grain in the scrubbing chamber (111). Bearing strips on the scrubbing rotor (105) are formed of alternate fields of cams (112) and spiral conveyors (113) so that the cams mainly move the individual grains and the conveyors create an axial movement. The movement of the grains is improved by cams on the scrubbing chamber working with those on the rotor. The scrubbing intensity is changed by altering the gap between the bearing strips and the rotor and/or by positioning or regulating the backlog forces at the outlet (102). The grain is scrubbed in respective dry and wet stages.

Abstract: A sound source apparatus has operation blocks composed of software modules
used to compute waveforms for generating a plurality of musical tones through
a plurality of channels according to performance information.
A setting device sets an algorithm which determines a system composed of
selective ones of the operation blocks systematically combined with each other
to compute a waveform specific to one of the musical tones. A designating
device responds to the performance information for designating one of the
channels to be used for generating the musical tone. A generating device
allocates the selective operation blocks to the one channel and systematically
executes the allocated selective operation blocks according to the algorithm so
as to compute the waveform to thereby generate the musical tone through the
channel. The generating device responds to a variable sampling frequency for
executing the operation blocks to successively compute samples of the
waveform in synchronization to the variable sampling frequency so as to
generate the musical tone, and sets the variable sampling frequency according
to process of computation of the waveform by the operation blocks.

Abstract: A product for topical application in the oral cavity comprises one or more vehicles,
containing in the same or separate said vehicles a polypeptide having specific binding
affinity to a target site in the microflora on tooth surfaces and an enzyme functional to
raise the pH in its vicinity, wherein the said enzyme is attached to said polypeptide or the
product contains means to bind the enzyme to the polypeptide at least at the time of use. 
     In use, the enzyme, eg urease, is carried by the polypeptide, eg antibody or antibody
fragment, and thereby bound to the target site at or adjacent to the dental plaque. The
enzyme functions to increase pH in the immediate locality, thus inhibiting or reducing the
formation of dental plaque/caries. The increase in pH also promotes breakdown of H 2 S,
thus inhibiting or reducing oral malodour.

portion 13, the lower portion containing a blind recess 14
extending only along a fraction of the length of the
respective side. A side may also have an overhang 21

to avoid spillages of material from the plate after
transfer from the board because the material is at least

L'élément réflecteur (160) est formé sur une deuxième partie de la couche support (120). La couche support (120) bascule en même temps que l'actionneur. Il en résulte que le film mince AMA présente un rendement lumineux très amélioré pour la lumière réfléchie par l'élément réflecteur (160) en raison de la diminution de la surface de l'actionneur et de l'augmentation de la surface de l'élément réflecteur (160). La qualité d'une image projetée sur écran s'en trouve notablement améliorée.

IPC: A24B3/18
Filed: 1997-02-04
Abstract: On traite le tabac pour provoquer sa dilatation au moyen d'un procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à soumettre le tabac, dans une chambre de traitement, à une pression réduite inférieure ou égale à 7 kPa, à imprégner la structure cellulaire du tabac avec une vapeur d'isopentane à une température comprise entre 70 °C et 100 °C et à maintenir le tabac en contact avec la vapeur, à une pression d'au moins 400 kPa. Ce procédé consiste également à retirer l'excès de vapeur d'isopentane de la chambre de traitement, à placer le tabac imprégné de vapeur pour assurer sa dilatation cellulaire, à réduire la pression dans la chambre de traitement à raison d'au moins 10 kPa/minute, de préférence 30 kPa/minute, et ensuite à purger la chambre de traitement afin de lui restituer la pression atmosphérique. La valeur de remplissage finale du tabac traité selon ce procédé est directement proportionnelle à la vitesse à laquelle la pression dans la chambre de traitement est réduite après le traitement du tabac par la vapeur.

Filed: 1997-01-22
Abstract: This invention relates to novel apparatus and methods for inserting and positioning a compressible material into a container and for using the container for detecting a specific environmental parameter or combination of parameters and for determining the effectiveness of a sterilization procedure. Precise positioning of a plug of compressible material in a container provides flexibility for production of indicator systems that vary in their response to sterilizing conditions. These indicators reflect the efficacy of sterilizers based on different modes of sterilization and reproduceability for accurate monitoring of each mode. The invention also relates to test indicators containing controlled volumes of compressed, gas-permeable materials and to methods for using test indicators for determining the efficacy of different types of sterilization processes. The test indicator consists of a plurality of interactive enzymes in a container with at least one opening. The opening is filled with a compressed cylindrical foam insert and the test indicator is placed into the sterilization chamber. The foam insert regulates the amount of sterilant such as steam, gas, chemicals or plasma entering the test indicator. Upon proper sterilization, the sterilant destroys the interactive enzymes and no color product is formed. Inactivation of the enzyme system parallels the inactivation of bacterial spores subjected to the sterilization process. Results are available in from a few seconds to a few hours. The test indicator can also be placed into a container with material such that the design simulates an environmental parameter test of the sterilization process.

Inventor: PINEAU MARTIN
IPC: H04S3/00
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: A post-amplification stereophonic to surround sound decoding circuit is described herein. The decoding circuit includes inputs to be connected to a stereophonic power amplifier to receive a powered amplified stereophonic signal and outputs to be connected to left and right main loudspeakers, to left and right secondary loudspeakers and to a central loudspeaker. The decoding circuit includes secondary channels decoding circuit decoding left and right surround channel signals to be supplied to the left and right secondary loudspeakers, respectively, and a central channel decoding circuit decoding a central channel signal to be supplied to the central loudspeaker. The central channel decoding circuit includes two decoupling capacitors decoupling the left and right signals from the powered amplified stereophonic signal before combining these signals to yield the central channel signal. This decoupling action prevents "bleeding" of the left and right signals that would degrade the stereophonic signal.

Abstract: A multipole magnetic encoder is movable past two fixed analog sensors delivering sinusoidal signals (S1, S2) phase-shifted by  pi /2. A generator produces 2n sinusoidal signals (Si) of the same amplitude (A) as the signals (S1, S2), phase-shifted by  pi /n. An analog multiplexer delivers a signal (S) consisting of 2n successive portions of signals (Si). An acquisition device determines a maximum envelope (E) of the signals (Si). Two of switching thresholds (Li) and (Lj) are generated proportional to the envelope (E). Two comparators compare the signal (S) with the thresholds (Li) and (Lj), and deliver binary signals (Ai) and (Bj). Two combining devices combine the binary signals (Ai) and (Bj), each delivering a high resolution signal of 2m*n periods in the interval of one period of one of the sensors.
